    Hey Guys & Girls:
    What boat am I missing?  What's wrong with replacing the wooden lyre 
braces with metal braces?  Schaff page 126, use the 21" long brass plated 
brace.  Cost: $7.70/pr, time to install: 15 minutes, reliability: far better 
than the original.  Yes, its not factory, but if it does a good job and many 
others use them, why not?
